Disney’s Newest Commercial Celebrates Unforgettable Magical Moments at Disney World

Disney has released a brand new commercial and it hit us in all the feels. They didn’t just show off all the rides and characters (though let’s be honest, who wouldn’t love a peek at those?), they flipped the script! This one’s all about the magic YOU create during your Disney visit. Talk about heartwarming!

Disney’s latest commercial takes a surprising turn. Instead of showcasing all the park has to offer, it focuses on the magic visitors themselves create within the Disney walls. It’s a refreshing perspective, reminding us that the most memorable moments at Disney World are often the ones we orchestrate ourselves.

While Walt Disney World is a magical destination, it isn’t the magic of our vacations; WE are! Take a look at the commercial and see for yourself:

Now that you’ve got all the Disney feels, let’s get your next Disney World trip booked! Contact me today to start planning. I am a travel agent with Destinations to Travel, my services are FREE, and I’d love to help you plan a magical, and memorable vacation.

Henry-Cavill-Rumored-to-Play-Wolverine-Variant-in-Marvels-Deadpool-3

Henry Cavill, best known for his role as Superman in the DC Extended Universe, is sparking excitement with rumors of a potential crossover into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sources suggest Cavill will make a cameo appearance as a Wolverine variant in the highly anticipated film ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’.

While the actor has previously expressed interest in portraying Captain Britain within the MCU, it appears those plans might be on hold.

Henry-Cavill-Rumored-to-Play-Wolverine-Variant-in-Marvels-Deadpool-3-2

The introduction of the multiverse concept in the MCU allows for multiple versions of popular characters. This means Cavill’s Wolverine wouldn’t replace Hugh Jackman’s legendary portrayal, but rather exist as a unique variant from an alternate Earth.

Fan Reactions and Implications

The news has ignited fan discussions, with many eager to see Cavill bring his charisma and physicality to the iconic Wolverine character. This potential cameo could pave the way for further appearances by Cavill within the MCU, opening up exciting possibilities for the future.

Steakhouse 71 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Removes Refillable Mimosa from Breakfast Menu

March 29, 2024

There’s been a recent shake-up at Steakhouse 71, the sleek eatery nestled within Disney’s Contemporary Resort, that may leave diner a bit bummed. One breakfast staple, the beloved refillable mimosa, has sadly flown the coop.

For those who enjoyed kicking off their park day with a refreshing mimosa or two alongside their Mickey waffles, this news might sting a bit. The refillable mimosa was a popular choice, offering a cost-effective way to enjoy some bubbly cheer throughout the morning.

While the official reason for the mimosa’s departure remains under wraps, it does leave us wondering what breakfast libations might fill the void. Perhaps Steakhouse 71 will introduce a selection of individual mimosas featuring different sparkling wine and juice combinations. Maybe they’ll expand their “Wake Up Call” menu, currently offering specialty cocktails like the “Steakhouse Bloody Mary.”

Here’s what we know for sure:

Refillable mimosas are no longer available on the Steakhouse 71 breakfast menu.
You can still enjoy a variety of breakfast options, from classic dishes like pancakes to more unique offerings like steak and eggs.
The restaurant’s selection of non-alcoholic beverages remains available.

What are your thoughts on this change? Did you enjoy the refillable mimosa at Steakhouse 71? Let us know in the comments below!

Keep your eyes peeled for this fuzzy chick as you explore DinoLand U.S.A. This little one is sure to be a favorite among park guests, and a wonderful reminder of Disney’s dedication to animal conservation.

It’s a busy day at Walt Disney World, and for those hoping to skip the lines with Disney Genie+, you’re out of luck! The multi-park Genie+ option is completely sold out today, the Friday before Easter.

Over at Universal Orlando Resort, Express Pass prices are also feeling the heat of the spring break crowds. A single day of the 2-Park Express Pass currently costs:

Today, March 29th: $329.99
